Cranberry Nut Cornbread
I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it would make a nice side dish, or even a snack. i plan on making it at christmas time, when fresh cranberries are plentiful in the market. note: i am writing the preparation directions exactly as written in this recipe, but you may want to try using the method baby kato uses in his recipe# 85511, which describes soaking the cornmeal in the milk first to eliminate the grittiness some people don't like in their cornbread.
